My wife's office is right on the parade route by Crown Center. Her firm is closed for the day, but is letting employees and their families come in to watch the parade.
I am taking my 6, 13, and 17 year old sons with my wife. She has a parking garage at her office and we have to be there between 6am & 7am.
I was debating not going due to the annoyingly large crowds. However, given the ease in which we can go watch the parade from her office, I am not going to miss this historic event. I have waited 40 years to celebrate this and did not think I would experience it during my lifetime.
I will bring some cold weather gear and brave the 2 block walk to watch the festivities.
